Days 9 and 10 -- Little Obstacles

I apologize for not getting yesterday's time up yesterday. I was 9 minutes early.

I was 7 minutes early today. Straight after last night's welcome party for the new teachers, I came home and fell asleep. I didn't wake up until morning and when I did, I was still in my clothes! So I hoofed it and took a morning shower instead of evening, and still managed to be early, although not 10 minutes early.

As much as being early has become important to me, I have to say that doing it in a relaxed, leisurely manner is just as important. We'd all rather be stress-free in the morning, take our time, move at our own pace, right?

So creating more time is going to be necessary. I'm moving back my wake-up time by 15 minutes.

Day after day there are small obstacles that always seem to change. But being the same as I go through them is the real challenge.


Total minutes early: 91

(I can do better than that.)
